The first Telerik (any product / version) I installed was WinForms Q1 2009.  Then I installed Q2 2009 (2009.2.9.729), Q3 2009 Beta (2009.2.9.1016) and Q3 2009 Final Release (2009.3.9.1103).  The version showing for the Controls in my VS 2005, VB Toolbox are still Q2 2009 (2009.2.9.729).  Now, I have switched my Project References back and forth between Q2 2009, Q3 2009 Beta and Q3 2009 Final, but I've never uninstalled any of the versions.  It even prompted me to close each of my VS 2005 instances before it would proceed with installation.

Telerik WinForms 2009Q3 (2009.3.9.1103), VB, VS 2005 (v8.0.50727.762 SP.050727-7600), .Net 2.0 (2.0.50727), XP SP3, 3GB, 2.99GHZ, Core2Duo.

Hello Tom,

You should be able to easily fix this problem by manually adding the controls to the ToolBox. You can find more information about how to do this here:

Also, I would try uninstalling any previous versions of the controls you are no-longer using as well. Having different versions of the controls installed can cause the ToolBox to double up with sections referencing the different versions. This can become problematic if you drag different versions of the controls to the design surface.

I hope this helps.

1. Thanks, that worked.

2. Was it supposed to automatically add a Tab in the Toolbox for each version installed?  If so, why didn't it?  If not, why not?  a. It labeled the "Q2 2009 SP1" Tab with the version # as if it were expecting the possibility of multiple versions in the Toolbox.  b. It automatically added the tab when I first installed Q1 2009.  c. It obviously also added / replaced the Q1 2009 Tab with Q2 2009 when I installed the latter without uninstalling the former.  d. It required me to close all my VS instances (Why else would it require that?  To add a Telerik -> About option?).  e. It didn't prompt me to manually add the Q3 2009 Beta or Final controls.

Hi Tom Chien,

Thanks for getting back to me. In general, each version that you install should find its place in Visual Studio Toolbox. However, according to our observations, there are cases in which the Toolbox installation fails and thus no new tabs for the corresponding versions are added.

I would like to inform you that we are working on this issues but since they seem to be harder to track down and require some more time for research, we cannot give an exact timeframe when this odd behavior will be fixed.

Therefore, I would like to ask for your patience. We hope that for Q1 2010 these issues will be resolved.
